Alabama's Republican primary today by crushing his opponents in the
competition for conservative and evangelical Christian voters.
In a pattern being replicated across the South, meanwhile,
Senator Barack Obama of Illinois won the Democratic
primary. According to exit polls conducted for The Associated Press
and television networks, his win is due in part to strong support
among black voters and young people.
Nearly eight in 10 Republican voters in Alabama described
themselves as evangelical or born-again Christians, and nearly half
of them sided with Huckabee, a former Southern Baptist preacher.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who has sought to
cast himself as the true conservative in the race, won only about
15 percent of those voters.
McCain fared well among those describing themselves as
moderates, but it wasn't enough to offset Huckabee's advantages
elsewhere in the Bible Belt state.
